JOEY GOUGH - BMX Girl

Bit of a change of scenery this week. Scoob and I trekked over to Corby Skatepark on tuesday during the day while it was nice and quiet.

I've never ridden much park, but it's drier and a bit warmer in there and pretty fun to rag about over the jump boxes. There is of course the foam pit too... I'm ashamed to say I did have a go at sending a flip into the foam. I got just far enough to bury my head in there real good! Thing is, although the foam is fairly soft, landing head first still gives your body some grief. I only tried it a couple of times before I'd had enough. The next day I had sore shoulders, a bit of a headache and a sore ankle from rolling it jumping out of a 360. I don't normally have that many ijuries riding dirt! False sense of security comes to mind. It's also bloody hard work climbing out of there, especially when your head is buried lower than your legs!

Scooby got back into the swing of pulling 3's, landing a few on the resi and doing Doyle-esque table 3's into the foam. Bosh!
